Few Americans were immune to the recession, but the plight of young men continues to be particularly dire. The unemployment rate for male high-school grads ages 25 to 34 is 14.4%, far above the 9% national average; the figure also marks a huge jump from the 6.1% jobless rate they faced before the downturn, the Wall Street Journal reports. Even worse off are high-school educated men ages 20 to 24, who suffer a whopping 22.5% jobless rate.
The Journal follows the story of two 25-year-old men who went from comfortable construction jobs and up-and-coming lifestyles to sporadic, lesser-paid jobs and living with multiple roommates or mom and dad. “I wasn't living, I was surviving,” says one.
Fucking fuel your already-depressing Monday with this bullshit. 18% of dudes 25-34 are living with the rents? Makes me feel much fucking better but the point is...
Start drinking, it's all downhill from here |
Why do the bitches get all the jobs? Why the fuck can't we work huh? Our dicks too big for the supermarket? No wonder fucking young men are all over this Occupy shit. We don't have jobs anyway, might as well rail on rich people while you are fucked. I mean shit man, what is going to happen when our generation is raising the new one? Hard to teach your kids independence when they live in the cupboard at Gramma's house isn't it?
Well bros, party it up in college while you can, because right now post-grad life looks like unemployment, even more ramen noodles, and crushing student loans. Sounds like the good life, or something.
